Boomkin is, at best, annoying in PvP now. You have the same annoying difficulties as Cata had, except now you can't do amazing damage sitting in solar forever with two DoTs that tick pretty decently. It's also a bit more annoying to level as. More random ferals or restos around than boomkins.

Nah, Boomkin is waaay better off than we were in Cata. Annoying, at best? I like to think we're more viable than we've ever been.

Getting a great spell from Symbiosis like Unending Resolve from Warlocks or AMS from DKs will go a long way towards helping you survive in random and rated BGs. Just tab-dot everything and then start mashing your Starsurge button. I get back-to-back 150k crits sometimes that just decimate the competition. You should never be anywhere but top 3 on damage done.

1v1 is still hit or miss, but we have the tools to do it. It's all a matter of adaptation and correct cooldown usage against certain classes - Rogues and Mages specifically. They can be beaten, it's just hard as hell.

Bootzilla is right. We take a different game play than before. And we depend on gear. I'm at 42% PvP power atm. And I'm dropping 200k+ SS so moonkins are a threat still. Anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish. You just need to adapt to the changes and make the best of it. As for PvE we can still pull great dps. But we never should be top since we are a "support" class. I'm at 480 ilvl PvE I'm dropping 100k on meters. So moonkins don't give up hope!

I honestly find boomkin incredibly fun in PvP at least, skill cap is definitely higher than people give credit for. Only real drawback is having to use 4pc to get back to lunar from solar, because solar is absolute garbage. Aside from that, symbiosis provides you several interesting choices of extra abilities and cooldowns.

I love my moonkin, dont get me wrong, but the damage to gear level is kinda lacking compared to my warlock or my warrior :(that being said i can still pull like 70-80k sustained and i decimate in BGs with dot spam and insta SSs :3
